Also, selected AUTO SCALE, but when I exported a 3280×2400 picture, the watermark is only halfway and other half is blank.

Does that mean, AUTO SCALE dint work or im doing something wrong?

Also, I not a designer and I would like to see some showcase of famous watermark styles to copy one and make on photoshop.
Can you provide some examples buddy or some resources link ?

Thanks again.

PS. I absolutely love this website. It is beautiful and the layout is fantastic!

This was very useful for me. Appreciate your big help.

The only thing I did not understand very well is the “Overlay” step. Where do I have to go exactly for that?

Cheers!

Hi Bohol, well there’s still the Aperture Manual with a paragraph about the watermarking feature which became better and better during the various Aperture updates.

If help to any others don’t think its a screen calibration thing and it seems to work on all files imported on Aperture 1 and my upgrade to 2 Tried turning off raw fine tuning but had the same problem with files loaded before and since update. Must be something to do with creating it. by the way if I opened all my attempts in preview they all come out as black squares even the last one that works.

Cheers, will I am sure make a point of keeping up with your site. David

Beside that you could try saving your watermark file as a PNG and see if the problem remains. And finally, there’s no need to merge your layers since Aperture can read layers in photoshop files perfectly. But merging your layers can reduce file size so if you want to do it anyway be sure the transparency stays intact. And don’t flatten the image cause that would destroy the transparency.

For the last two years I have used a watermark template I made with a friend and just had to open it and change the date and re-save.

This year I have photoshop 3 and built it in the same way and it works fine for mail but not for web export where I get a big black box in the picture.

This is what I did.

OPen new file in PS. Size 23 x 11.99cm res 100px. background transparent.

Create 2nd new layer from 1st. type out watermark and date, (copyright sign from character palatte). place in center of image

Rastorise type layer. do i need to rastorise layer 1 Because it does not seem possible)

Merge visible layers.

Then save as psd on desk topThis ten used to be the image I chose in the aperture watermark selection Pane and it alway worked fine.

Now it works with email but not when exporting images to the web. Now I just get a black box the size of the watermark in the middle. Doing it this way before and hitting resise in Aperture meant that it always worked on all formats of picture, landscape and portrait and any export. It was simple. Do you know if I an missing an important step in creating the PS file, I have spent hours researching it and have to go to switzerland at the weekend for polo and will need to upload photos. Any help would be a great relief. thanks.
